OHICAGO, november 4.-Ihe story
rom Pittsburg with the alleged Anar-
chist sensation is smiled at here. 1t is
full of inconsistencies and about the
only basis there can be for it is that the
man Owens was perhaps a member of
one of the Anarchists groups and left
Chicago in the general exodus of those
gentry after the Haymaket massacre.
Michael Schwab, brother-in-law of
Schnaubelt, was seen in jail this
evening and said little reliance could be
placed in the story Schnaubelt's only
partner here was machinist. He is
not an Anarchist and is still in this city
working at his trade.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, November 4.-The
Governors Anarchist mail was
little more bulky than usual to-day,
but its contents are a secret that is
locked securely. He persistently de-
clines to talk about the case. It is de-
clared that the letters of Engel, Lingg,
Fischer and Parsons, in which they
refuse to accept Communication of SEN
tence, have not been received, and it is
believed that they have been kept back
by friends of the condemned men.
Mrs. M. A. Miller, of Chicago, ar
rived in the city to-day, for the pur-
pose of appealing to the Governor In
behalf of the Anarchists. She made her
headquarters at the Woman's Ex-
change, an attachment of the Womans
Christian Temperance Union, and went
directly to the executive mansion. She
found The governor at home and stated
her case. She afterwards said that she
received respectful attention, but she
was not satisfied with the result. The
governor would not give her any indl-
cation of what he is likely to do. Mrs.
Miller said that she thought that Gov
ernor Oglesby was very strongly in
clined to let the law take its course :;
that he evidently believes in not inter
fering with the operation of the law
without good reason therefor, and that
she was not able to impress him very
strongly with her views of the limo
cence of the condemned. She was much
discouraged to ascertain that the gov
ernor is believer in capital punish
ment. Mrs. Miller proposed to the
Womens' Christian Temperance Union
ladies that day of prayer be ordered,
but the proposition received no favor
and later in the day she left for st. Louis.
PITTsBURG, November 24.-The re-
porters who went to Homestead this
evening, interviewed many residents of
that village, and found two or three
who claimed to have knowledge of
Owens connection with the bomb
throwing. They neglected, however,
to explain why they had kept this to
themselves until now.

clemency for the condemned Anarch-
lists. The mayor had no objection, pro-
viding it was done IN a proper manner.
Captain Black said, this evening,
that he expected to go to Springfield
on Monday, with the petition. \"Such
a petition as 1 shall carry" said the
captain, "does not mean that the men
renounce their principles; that they are
down on their narrow bones begging
for mercy, or that they regard them
selves as guilty of any crime. It will

A telegram was sent, tonight, by
George Schilling to Master Workman
